Beberis ‘Orange Rocket’

This Berberis almost looks like it’s been spray painted a shocking shade of orange which is quite unusual for us to see in a shrub. Orange leaves in the spring turn to green for the summer and then orange again before dropping in the autumn. Grow in full sun or part shade, in the middle or back of a border.

Grows to 1.2m tall and 50cm wide.

Azalea ‘Glowing Embers’

The deep scarlet buds of this deciduous Azalea open to a blaze of orange ruffled blooms. The foliage is often flushed with bronze which adds to the fiery effect.

Best grown in light shade in the border. Prefers an ericaceous soil. 

Grows to 1.5m tall and wide (in around 10 years).

Salvia ‘Amino’

The deep blue flower of this stunning Salvia will complement the fiery oranges and reds of other plants. Salvia ‘Amino’ has deep green, semi-evergreen foliage with a sweet scent. Almost black stems topped with royal blue flowers born from black calyces.

Perfect for growing in a sunny spot at the back of a border or in large patio containers.

Grows to 1.5m tall and 1m wide.

Salvias have fast grown in popularity as they come in a range of shapes, sizes and colours. There is space in any garden for a Salvia. Check out Gardeners worlds growing guide.
